Re: FIRST Game Survivor: Round 12

Now that Double Trouble is off, I will have to seriously think about this.

Im deciding to vote off Torroid Terror. Personally, I did not enjoy Rack N' Roll, and according to the FIRSTwiki, Torroid Terror and Rack N' Roll seem very similar.

Shouldn't you have been making educated decisions all along? I still can't believe you guys voted off 1999...

Re: FIRST Game Survivor: Round 12

I'm voting for aim high because the scoring for that game is the only one that confused me when I was watching match video.

Re: FIRST Game Survivor: Round 12

I'm voting for 2004. Call me crazy, but I found the game quite boring.

Re: FIRST Game Survivor: Round 12

For a spectator that knew nothing about FIRST, 2006 was the best game. They could walk into a competition with no idea about the game and a simple explanation of 'shoot as many as you can into the top goal, get on the ramp at the end' brought them up to speed. They then got to watch balls fly, bots shoving, climbing, and tipping.
2006 was the best spectator game by far.

This didn't happen with triple play or rack and roll? Of the games I've really seen, aim high had the easiest scoring system. IMHO

Personnally, I didn't do well in 2006, but the actual game was awesome. I hope they consider bringing it back some time.

Here is where I go pushing for an alliance against Toroid Terror.

Not realy. It's the periods in aim high that throgh me for a spin for a little while. I liked rack and roll, even though I didn't get to compete in it.

Re: FIRST Game Survivor: Round 12

I think I'll just post my voting strategy from now until the end.

6. Torrid Terror
5. Hexagon Havoc
4. Tower Power
3. FIRST Frenzy: Raising the Bar
2. Ladder Logic
1. Aim High

Hopefully others agree with me...otherwise I might have to rethink my voting a bit.
